What a Wonderful Word: A Collection of Untranslatables from Around the World | 
pickThis book is so beautiful and educational and I want to share it with everyone I know!! Illustrations are stunning. Really cool to think about other languages and how experiences can be unique to where you live or universal to all of humanity, and how our languages reflect that! #blameitonlitsy
pick#ConflictedWorlds Day 27: #PersonVsJealousy - in this picturebook depicting untranslatable words from around the world, the reader is introduced to “Ishq,” which is Arabic for “a perfect love without jealousy or inconsistency that holds two people together.” How awesome is that. I also invite you to pause for a moment here and just look at the details in Colombian artist Luisa Uribe‘s artwork. My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-js9
An Icelandic word meaning: “Weather that looks beautiful while you‘re inside, but is much too cold when you step outside.”
Basically, perfect reading weather! 📚

pick#MarchIntoThe70s Day 15: This gorgeous coffeetable book gathers together a collection of untranslatable words from around the world. A favourite word is Ishq, which is Arabic for “a perfect love without jealousy or inconsistency that holds two people together.” No #JealousGuy sentiments here. My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-js9 - one of the loveliest nonfiction books published last year.
